WHEREAS, prior to Parent’s initial public offering, Sponsor purchased shares of Parent’s Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Parent Class B Common Stock”), which shares of Parent Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into shares of Parent’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Parent Common Stock”) upon the closing of Parent’s initial business combination;
WHEREAS, Parent entered into that certain Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of March 8, 2021, by and among Parent, Motion Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Ambulnz, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to which, on or about the date hereof, Merger Sub will merge (the “Merger”) with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 1.9 of the Merger Agreement, and as a material inducement to the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, Sponsor is required to place an aggregate of 575,000 shares of Parent Class B Common Stock (which shares will become an aggregate of 575,000 shares of Parent Common Stock upon the closing of the Merger, the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) into escrow upon the terms and conditions hereof;
WHEREAS, Parent and Sponsor desire that the Escrow Agent accept the Sponsor Earnout Shares in escrow, to be held and disbursed as hereinafter provided.
IT IS AGREED:
1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. Parent and Sponsor hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with and subject to such terms.
2. Deposit of Shares. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be deposited in escrow, to be held and disbursed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Sponsor acknowledges that the shares deposited in escrow will be legended to reflect the deposit of such shares under this Agreement.
3. Disbursement of the Sponsor Earnout Shares.
3.1 Unless released pursuant to Section 3.2, the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be held in escrow: (a) with respect to 287,500 of the Sponsor Earnout Shares (the “First Sponsor Earnout Shares”), from the date hereof until [●], 20241 (such period, the “First Earnout Period”) and (b) with respect to the remaining 287,500 of the Sponsor Earnout Shares (the “Second Sponsor Earnout Shares”), from the date hereof until [●], 20262 (such period, the “Second Earnout Period” and together with the First Earnout Period, the “Escrow Period”). In the event that any First Sponsor Earnout Shares are still held in escrow at the end of the First Earnout Period, or any Second Sponsor Earnout Shares are still held in escrow at the end of the Second Earnout Period, those Sponsor Earnout Shares will automatically and without further action by Sponsor be forfeited and delivered by the Escrow Agent to Parent for cancellation by Parent.
3.2 The Escrow Agent shall release the Sponsor Earnout Shares from escrow as follows: (i)(x) the First Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be released from escrow if the closing price of the Parent Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, and recapitalizations) on any twenty (20) trading days in a thirty (30)-trading-day period during the First Earnout Period and (y) the Second Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be released from escrow if the closing price of the Parent Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, and recapitalizations) on any twenty (20) trading days in a thirty (30)-trading-day period during the Second Earnout Period.

3.4. The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder after the disbursement of the Sponsor Earnout Shares in accordance with this Section 3.
4. Rights of Sponsor in Sponsor Earnout Shares.

5. Concerning the Escrow Agent.
5.1 Good Faith Reliance. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent in good faith to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.
5.2 Indemnification. Subject to Section 5.7 below, the Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by Parent from and against any expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the Sponsor Earnout Shares held by it hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or disposition of the Sponsor Earnout Shares or it may deposit the Sponsor Earnout Shares with the clerk of any appropriate court or it may retain the Sponsor Earnout Shares pending receipt of a final, non-appealable order of a court having jurisdiction over all of the parties hereto directing to whom and under what circumstances the Sponsor Earnout Shares are to be disbursed and delivered. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive in the event the Escrow Agent resigns or is discharged pursuant to Sections 5.5 or 5.6 below.

5.4 Further Assurances. From time to time on and after the date hereof, Parent and Sponsor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.
5.5 Resignation. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder by its giving the other parties hereto written notice and such resignation shall become effective as hereinafter provided.

If no new escrow agent is so appointed within the 60-day period following the giving of such notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Sponsor Earnout Shares with any court it reasonably deems appropriate in the State of New York.
5.6 Discharge of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall resign and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder if so requested in writing at any time by all of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that such resignation shall become effective only upon the appointment of a successor escrow agent selected by Parent and approved by each of Sponsor and the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
